| Comments: |
Nice easy hike out to Isolation and back. Fast trails today. The engine hill bushwhack is broken out with minimal effort required to follow or hike it. Not much elevation this time, thank you to whomever broke it out. The area of minor bushwhacking by the campsites is still left how I broke it out in December, missing the official junction of Isolation and Davis Path, just bang a left when you get there. Not much for views on the summit but great friends and lots of woohoo-ing! Summit shots, sans cheese theifery and down we went. Sub six hours out and back! Thank you Dan, Ryan (aka the monkeys uncle, aka cotton king), Brent and Lucy. And always a deep bow to the amazing Kali. Great to see Tim and meet a future fellow Bonds hiking partner. |
